Cooking white rice in the Thermomix is simple, reliable, and completely hands-free. The simmering basket allows the rice to gently steam as it cooks, giving you fluffy, perfectly cooked rice every time.

White rice is perfect for all sorts of meals. For fried rice, it's best if the rice is cold. See my tips below for chilling and storing it safely.

Thermomix White Rice - Cooking Thermomix White Rice is really easy, it just takes 20 minutes and you can set it and forget it.

Step-by-Step Directions

Weigh & Rinse

Insert the simmering basket and weigh in the rice. Remove the basket and rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs mostly clear.

Cook

Add the water to the TM bowl, then return the simmering basket with the rinsed rice. Cook for 18-22 mins/100°C/speed 4. Check the rice is cooked through. If needed, cook for a few more minutes.

How to Store Leftover Cooked Rice

Cold, day-old rice is perfect to use in fried rice recipes. To keep it safe to eat, cooked rice should be cooled and refrigerated as quickly as possible. If left at room temperature for too long, bacteria can develop.

To cool it quickly, spread the rice out on a baking tray or large container. Once cold, cover and refrigerate. Use within 1-2 days.

If not using it for fried rice, reheat in the microwave until piping hot, stirring halfway through.
